Antarctica & Falklands Expedition

16-day all-inclusive Antarctica Expedition Cruise with round-trip flights from Buenos Aires

Explore the frozen beauty of Antarctica before heading north to discover the windswept shores of the Falklands.

From December’s down-covered penguin chicks to March’s more independent youngsters – each stage reveals the remarkable cycle of life in Antarctica.

Active adventure brings you close to icebergs, with opportunities to go hiking, kayaking, and even camping on the Antarctic ice.

In the Falklands, land on scenic beaches and follow grassland trails to get close to the wildlife. You’ll also visit the capital, Stanley.

The frozen continent

Sail iceberg-filled waters as we journey from Ushuaia to Antarctica and the Falkland Islands. Spot penguins, seals, and whales along the way. As always, nature is in charge. We’ll monitor conditions to give you the best adventure possible, including kayaking, ice-cruising, hiking and more.

The remote Falkland Islands

Explore the rolling green hills and white sands of the picturesque Falklands archipelago. A warm welcome awaits you in the capital, Stanley. You’ll also visit the albatross, penguin, and seal colonies that thrive on these remote shores.

Instead of an onboard casino, we have the Science Centre. Instead of cabaret shows, you have all the show you need outside the windows. No water slides, just kayaking trips or small-boat safaris along the coast in the Arctic, Antarctic, or the Galápagos.
